Ajibike said, “We arrived in Ibadan last night (Friday). At the recently concluded NYG in Asaba, Oyo State made an impressive showing, securing ten gold, seven silver, and ten bronze medals to finish 7th in the overall standings.

“This marks a significant improvement from last year’s performance, where the state won four gold, four silver, and nine bronze medals.”

He expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance and advised the athletes to continue balancing their educational pursuits with their sporting endeavours.

“We are proud of our athletes’ achievements, and we encourage them to keep pushing themselves both on and off the field,” he said.

The state Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Wasilat Adegoke, spent quality time with the athletes and officials, conveying the State Government’s goodwill and support during the ten-day event in Asaba.
